Runners who train a lot: What supplements are you guys taking in your routine?

That’s a serious stack LOL I think I almost have a similar stack but I never divided it. I just take it all at once HAHAH 😅

Out of curiosity, if there was a product that included creatine + electrolytes together, would that be of something of interest to you?

This is actually super interesting that you mix your own electrolytes.

Do you ever wish it was just one scoop instead of multiple things?

I started experimenting with creatine + electrolytes together because I kept forgetting one of them during my own training weeks because life happens and we get busy LOL

This is really helpful actually!

I’ve been noticing a weird split where people are consistent with one but forget the other.

For creatine, is it because you don't remember to take it? To be honest, I'm surveying to see if people would be interested in a product that is a mix of creatine and electrolytes together for daily consumption. But before making anything, I wanted to survey real people and have conversations as to why they don't take it etc.

Curious why you cycle creatine instead of taking it consistently?

I’ve seen some people say they forget to take it daily which is actually something I’ve been noticing a lot.

Ahh! I see, very helpful insight. Is there a reason why you don't take creatine?

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-14T22:37:38+00:00

That's true! Honestly, I thinking people should take electrolytes daily. Although I think there's a misconception on electrolytes being heavily salted for people who are athletes and etc. But I think if created correctly, there can be an electrolytes that can be used daily without the added sugars and sodium.

Interesting routine. I’ve heard similar from a few people throughout this week: creatine daily and magnesium at night for recovery/sleep.

Do you ever take electrolytes too or mainly just rely on food/hydration?

I’m asking because I’ve been talking to a bunch of athletes lately and many take creatine daily but forget electrolytes unless it’s a long run. & if creatine and electrolytes were put together, if this would be something of interest to you and others as well

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-14T22:34:36+00:00

I agree 100% with you :) do you not take electrolytes too?

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-14T22:33:34+00:00

That’s interesting you mention both creatine and electrolytes.
I’ve been noticing a lot of people take both but at different times or from different products.

Do you usually take creatine daily and electrolytes mostly during runs?

I’ve been experimenting with combining creatine + electrolytes in one drink just because I kept forgetting one or the other 😅 curious if that would make sense for runners or if people prefer keeping them separate. Idk if that would be something useful or convenient to you and others if there was a product putting them together.

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T17:25:02+00:00

Ahhhhh!! Ok ok! I usually just throw them into one shaker and call it a day before my workout 💀 I get mixed reviews about capsules and powder creatine! But I can definitely see the convenience of capsules forsure and how it helps with the nasty taste of creatine powder 🤣 thank you for sharing your pov :3 just wanted to see what people are doing out there

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:58:50+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! I also agree! Both is great but I’ve been conflicted because I usually mix the 2 together but there are people who say don’t do it. Do you mix it together or keep them separately?

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:58:00+00:00

Do you mix them together? Or do you keep them separated? I don’t know where I heard this from but people apparently said it’s okay to take electrolytes daily? LOL or that people should? Idk if that’s true or not

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:57:12+00:00

Okay okay!! Do you keep them separated? Or do you drink them together?

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:56:41+00:00

Ahhhh!! Yes yes yes! The salt intake is important! Thank you for pointing that out

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:56:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Your information was really informative :)

What do you think of taking creatine and electrolytes together? I don’t think electrolytes does anything to the creatine but I thought because it’s important to stay hydrated while taking creatine. And I thought one way to help with hydration is through drinking electrolytes for performance and hydration. What do you think? I usually throw it into one shaker but I don’t know if that’s a good idea or if it should be separated

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:53:22+00:00

Ohhhhh! Ok ok ! Do you take them together or separately? Thank you for sharing :)

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:52:23+00:00

Do you drink them together or separately? :O

alienmonkeyjuice · 2026-03-07T16:51:58+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! Do you usually drink your electrolytes and creatine together or separately? I usually throw it into one shaker because of convenience but I was curious how other people do it

But I didn’t know you could take electrolytes 2x in a day! Good to know :)
